CVE-2025-26794 Details
Description
Exim 4.98 before 4.98.1, when SQLite hints and ETRN serialization are used, allows remote SQL injection. (Resolving SQL injection requires an update to 4.99.1 in certain non-default rate-limit configurations.)
A remote SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in Exim version 4.98, prior to 4.98.1. This issue arises when the SQLite hints database is used, and the ETRN command serialization is enabled. The vulnerability allows an attacker to manipulate SQL queries, potentially leading to unauthorized data access or modification.
